Verifieerde

Verifieerde is the past participle of verifiëren in Dutch and is used as an adjective meaning that something has been checked and confirmed as true, accurate, or authentic. It can modify nouns such as informatie, bron, of account.

Etymology: Derived from the verb verifiëren, itself borrowed from English verify, from Latin verificare meaning to prove true. In standard Dutch, the adjectival form is usually geverifieerde, though verifieerde appears in some contexts, such as headlines or informal writing.

In digital platforms: Verification processes are used to establish authenticity of accounts or content. Platforms may require identity documents, cross-check data, or verify credentials. A verifieerde or geverifieerde account is one that has been authenticated by the platform and may receive a verification mark. Important to note: verification signals authenticity, but does not guarantee truthfulness of all claims; it is a best-effort trust indicator subject to platform rules and time.

Language use and policy: Verifieerde appears less common in formal Dutch than geverifieerde. Many style guides prefer geverifieerde for adjectival use. The term also appears in translations and user interface text.
